Why ragwort is a problem in Tynemouth
On Tynemouth properties, ragwort poisonous to horses and cattle, and liver damage accumulates whether the plant is grazed fresh or baled into hay. Tynemouth's coastal cliffs and old fish quay along the mouth of the River Tyne left disturbed ground near the priory and railway embankments where Japanese knotweed has taken root in the town's green spaces.
